Calgary at St. Louis

Calgary is a dog but a balanced team that is playing well. Calgary is #16 in the NHL in goals scored and on the power play, while the defense is #13 in goals allowed. The Flames are trying to hold on to the top Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Matthew Tkachuk is expected to return to the lineup tonight after serving a two-game suspension. Calgary has a winning record both home and away and is 20-6 after scoring two or fewer goals in the previous game. The St. Louis Blues are dealing with a lot of late-season injuries to key players. St. Louis has lost six of its last seven home games against teams with a winning road record.  The Blues have been strong offensively all year at #13 in goals scored, fifth on the power play. The team is 15-6-4 OVER the total at home, plus 21-8-8 OVER when their opponent scores two or fewer goals in their previous game. These teams match up evenly and the wagering value is on the dog to win the game or lose by one goal in a high-scoring battle. Play both Calgary on the puckine and the OVER.
